WELCOME TO _HELL! WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU TODAY?
You got that right! Got three bank shops, a pool supply, seven gas station shops, three restaurants and three post offices still to write and am heading out for 5 more post offices and an electronics and a phone shop today! My sister is in town and I have to take grandkids to meet her at 5:00 pm at Chuck E Cheese's and then have a dinner shop and chorus rehersal at 7:30. Home to write a gazillion reports! I love my sister, but she picked the wrong time to come visit! Go home sis and I'll shop my way to Panama City next month and visit you and the beach! lol

Hell is the obvious place to ask, "Would you like fries with that?"

lololololol I'm still laughing about this and more weirdness pops into my head everytime I think about it. I finally got all my Shell shops reported on today and that feels great.

I thought you weren't to do more than four shops a day to keep shops straight?!
Every MSC has their own guidelines regarding daily shop limits per client and overall. Also, if doing shops for multiple MSC's, there are no such restrictions. It's possible to get a system down where you can keep locations and events straight through good notes and organization of them.
There are many days where I do a dozen jobs or more. Just keep yourself organized and it shouldn't be a problem. I do a lot of "evaluations" where several pictures are required. I take a picture of the cover sheet of each shop to make the break between groups of photos when downloading to my computer.
Yes, there are some companies that limit you to a certain number of shops per day for them, but that doesn't mean you can't do others for other companies.

I cArry my netbook with me. When I have all my pics for a location, I fire it up and upload the pics into a folder already set up and named with the job number, brand and location. I also have a second folder by that name plus the word "resized". Before I leave the lot my pics are resized and waitng for my report. Organization is the key. I can do as many Marathon stations in a day as my legs and camera can stand.

So you can't adjust your camera to take the photos at the correct size? That would save you a step.
I actually went to a _hell station today. And that described it accurately. This is the first time I went to a station and then canceled the shop. I even bought the gas first. I just didn't feel safe there and got that bad feeling that you get when something is just off....if something had happened, I would never forgive myself for ignoring that little voice in my head! I couldn't wait to get out of there!

I love my Casio Exilim digital camera. It has a simple "VGA" setting that takes the 640x480 shots many MSC's want for their reports. LOVE IT!

For some shops, I've found it's to my advantage to take pictures at larger sizes. If a file is corrupted or I find I've forgotten to take one, I can always crop down a larger image to show the required shot and do a save-as of it. If your shots are in their smallest resolution, you're stuck with what you've got.
Most stations require less than 20 shots. I take between 35 and 40 per station to make sure I have what I need before I leave. Some are 200 miles from home. I ain't a goin' back! lol

many assignments don't lend themselves to standing in front of the store and taking a picture of yourself. lolol
I can also just take a picture of my feet or my steering wheel to divide up pictures. I go ahead and upload them to the properly named file (resized) and rename the pictures so that all I have to do when I get to home base is write the report. I don't want a ton of work waiting for me when I get home.
Noooooooo. There aren't any fire extinguishers at the gas pumps!
There's no public restroom.
Yes, there's a public restroom but we can't find the key.
